Ugh

Ugh. What time was it? I had a really terrible dream yesterday. A dream that consumed me. And now, I'm late for school! Oh my gosh! I woke up with a start, only to find out that I wasn't back at home.

My heart felt like beating fast. The LoveHacked universe. The LoveHacker. Everything I listened to yesterday was all real. I shook my head. No. All of this couldn't be real! I just knew it! And I wasn't surprised to find out that I was back in my own bedroom all by myself.

I looked at the window. Everything was futuristic in this universe! I felt like I was in a video game - as a video game character! I didn't want to stay here any longer! But I had to. And I must.

LoveHacked. A world of unfortunate love. A world of magic. A world of dreams. Everything is futuristic. I was so frustrated. WHY HAD I COME HERE?!! WHAT WAS I DOING HERE?!! Oh - WAIT! Was I meant to be doing - what I am doing?

A flashback came into my mind. It was one that would never end in oblivion. It was coming back to me. I always remembered that sort of flashback. It would never ever escape from my mind again.

"ZOE! You must read this if you're online! Soon, one of your friends/love interests will LoveHack you! I mean it, Zoe! This is your only chance to escape! Hurry! And I'll see you tomorrow! But please hurry or else, your LoveHacked app will lose all of it's data!"

I felt hot angry tears spring to my eyes and to the corners of them. Is this all true? Is Della actually meaning it? Was I really going to get LoveHacked?!! NO! IT CAN'T BE!!! IT CAN'T BE!!! That feeling was horrible! Imagine a life where I would actually get hacked out of nowhere from an unknown person! What would Della and Marcus say? Would they get mad at me when I get LOVEHACKED?!! I had too many thoughts about it.

I felt angry and betrayed. Blood was pouring down my veins as I thought about it more clearly. Ten minutes later, I couldn't hold it anymore. I was way too mad about the thought of getting LoveHacked. I was about to get a tantrum when I suddenly went thirsty and drank my whole water bottle up.

When I got back to the table, the good news was that I wasn't angry anymore! Phew. But what really got my anger back was the bad news. Oof. OH - MY - G - GOD!!! NO WAY. There is NO WAY THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING TO ME. Am I - NO. MARCUS WAS THE BETRAYER?!!

I was hot and frustrated. NO - NO - NO - NO - NO. This cannot be happening to me. No. Not even when Marcus gave me a laugh. No. Not even that. I was about to slam my laptop shut when I immediately saw a message. IT WAS FROM MARCUS?!!

"Dear, Zoe. Sorry. I had to..."

Taking this memory off of my mind was impossible. My mind felt like a thousand burning hot flames that were about to explode. But fires don't explode - right?!! Unless they are fireworks. Ah, me! I FREAKING HATE THIS!!!

I jumped out of bed and did my morning routine. I wasn't served any breakfast, sadly so I had to go out and buy something to eat. Grabbing my coat, I quickly rushed out the front door and began to look for a tavern or somewhere that has food served.
